I really liked him. He read for about 30 mins from his new book Halting State. It's a strange near-future book read in the 2nd person. The story is about some future merging of virtual- and real- reality filled with spies and agents.I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book.Charlie is from Scottish and really kills his "BR"s. He has a great sense of humor and was entertaining. He's current on tour in the US mainly on the West Coast. Look for him at a signing near you.
